Try this :

$('.menubutton').click(function() {
    $('.menubutton').not(this).removeClass('active')
    $(this).toggleClass('active');
});

Not tested, just wrote this here in the editor:

$(document).on('ready', function() {
    $('.menubutton').on('click', function() {
        $('.menubutton').removeClass('active clicked');
        $(this).addClass('active clicked')
    }).on('mouseenter', function() {
        $('.menubutton.active').not('.clicked').removeClass('active');
        $(this).addClass('active')
    }).on('mouseleave', function() {
        $(this).not('.clicked').removeClass('active')
    });
});

Add a click Handler,

$('.menubutton').click(function() {
    $('.menubutton.active').removeClass('active')
    $(this).addClass('active');
});

Create new class activeClick for click event as active class will remove on hover out event:-

$(function(){
 $('.menubutton').click(function(){    
   $('.menubutton').removeClass('activeClick');
   $(this).addClass('activeClick');
  });
});
